This is the official information portal for the Benchmarx's annual ROCKIN' FOR THE ENVIRONMENT which takes place the last Friday of Earth Week every April. Rockin' for the Environment is a day long celebration of music and endangered species as we set to raise funds for a new organization yearly. In 2007, we rocked for the turtles, in 2008 we rocked for the tigers, up next...The Orangutan!

About Me

The Benchmarx are a rock group settled in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. What started as 5 random expatriates rocking in a studio once a week turned into a global rocking phenomenon that has seen them touring through 5 countries (through one form or another). They are currently working on their second album and are all about the animals. The Benchmarx are (were): Steve "the buzz" Northcott, Erik "Herr Direktor" Richardson, Gary "the Glove" Blanton, David "ACE" Ross, Kenny "the REAL JD" Peavy, Bill "Monsta" Madden, and Eric "T.I.C.K" Beck.
